This is my favourite daily reading: I like to check for the event of the day here.

Today, for instance, but in 1941 Pearl Harbor was bombed.

Suggest your students to check for it and this way you can have a 5-minute talk before the class. Sometimes, they discover useful information and can even debate more than 5 minutes about the facts they read about.

Read more about it in the website and if you like cinema, I recommend you the film:

Pearl Harbor is a 2001 American romanceaction war film that could even be discussed in nowadays context: love versus friendship, war and peace, politics versus people, conflict and decision making.

Don’t forget to select a relevant scene and your students will love to watch it!
